Season 4, Episode 3: Inner Child Work with Stefanie Stahl.

“ Peacekeeping and meeting everyone’s expectations or striving for perfectionism are typical self protection strategies to compensate feelings of inferiority.”

One of Germany’s leading clinical psychologists and author of The Child In You, Stefanie Stahl, joins Caggie today. Stefanie’s work focuses around the principle that our early imprints from childhood shape our behaviour and belief systems, which impact our relationships, friendships and generally how we show up in the world in adult life. She differentiates between the Shadow Child (our negative beliefs), and the Sun Child (our more positive beliefs) and advocates making friends with the Shadow Child in order to understand ourselves better.

Inner child work can be heavy, especially when unearthing trauma, so a professional therapist can be really helpful in this process. But during our Saturn Return we often have a strong desire to begin this work, as we become more willing to let go of the past that might be holding us back from initiating into adulthood.
